Prayers For Our Country

Today is the 58th Annual National Day of Prayer, created in 1952 by a joint resolution of U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Truman. If you are so inclined, join me in this prayer for our nation by Beth Moore, 2009 Honorary Chairman, from the National Day of Prayer website.

2009 Prayer for Our Nation
by Beth Moore, Honorary Chairman

Father in Heaven,
We lift our eyes toward Your Throne, where You reign in righteousness.
Your Word assures us that when Your people cry out in sincerity and humility, You will never turn a deaf ear to us.
We call upon You now, seeking Your forgiveness and favor.
Look over this fevered landscape and heal us, Lord.
Drop knees to the floor and raise eyes to the sky, for we know where our help comes from.
Unite these States again in devotion to You, and blur every dividing line.
Do not give us over to our sins. Give us, instead, over to passionate prayer that moves Your heart.
“May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You.”
In the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
Amen


Amen.
